Each out recorded while the pitcher is still playing is recorded as a third of an inning. So if a pitcher give up three runs while pitching in a game and is taken out in the 6th with 2 out, it would be recorded as him giving up three in 6 and 2/3's innings (assuming the runs were earned.) BUT there is a bit of a kicker to this, sometimes if you watching the scores of other games go across the bottom of the screen, you'll see that a pitcher pitch 4.1 innings or 7.2 innings. In Baseball language 4.1 is 4 and 1/3 innings pitched and 7.2 is 7 and 2/3 inningg pitched. 4.1 and 7.1 just looks more apealing that 4.3 (repeating) or 7.6(repeating) which is what it mathematically would be

Is there ever a time when pitch count for a batter is reset in MLB?

When a baserunner makes the last out of an inning, the batter at the plate gets a fresh count to lead off the next inning.


If a batter is up with two outs and a runner gets caught stealing for the third out does that batter continue to bat in the next inning?

When the third out of an inning is made before the batter has completed a turn at bat, then that player shall be the first batter in the next inning and the ball and strike count shall be cancelled.


What is the maximum number of pitches a batter can face in a single complete at-bat excluding foul balls?

A batter can have a full count of 2 and 3 and then get walked with ball nuber 4, so 6 pitches. However, consider the circumstance of a pitcher facing a batter with two outs and a runner on base. If the pitcher picks off a runner with the count full, the inning ends, and the same batter is up in the next inning with an empty count. Statistically, it is the same at bat, so the maximum number of pitches is in fact 11. 2 strikes and 3 balls in one inning, and either 3 strikes and 3 balls or 2 strikes and 4 balls to lead off the next inning.


How many black people live in America?

It depends on how the question is to be read. In the United States, there are between 39-42 million African-Americans, depending on whether you count biracial persons where one parent is Black. This number also does not count Hispanics with dark skin, like Dominicans, who do have African ancestry. In the entire pair of American continents, there are roughly 180 million people of whole or partial African descent.


If a player hit a home grand slam all but one player touches the plate is it still a home run?

If appealed by the defending team the player who did not touch home, his run would not count and he would be ruled out. In the even that this runner was the 3rd out of the inning -- his run wouldn't count as well as anyone who touched home after him
